Confederate Flags, Swastikas To Be Banned At Carroll County Schools

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The Carroll County Public School system is moving forward with banning the Confederate flag and swastikas as part of its dress code.

A new dress code regulation is in the works to ban students from wearing the symbols at school.

The language for the ban will be discussed further at a March school board meeting, but preliminary, it also appears that it will include the appearance of those images on vehicles that are driven onto school property.

The superintendent says times change.

A new dress code regulation will reflect that, banning what are generally considered symbols of hate: the Confederate flag and swastikas.

Carroll County Public Schools Superintendent Stephen Guthrie says it’s time to keep them out of classrooms.
